Was out walking using my Seek app to identify species. It’s easy to recognize Madrone in the wild by its peeling bark but in this yard, it’s ornamental. Pink flower bell clusters and orange beaded berries are a marvel.

Still looking for Faeries ✨🧚

Mark Twain on letting the book write itself, versus forcing it.

Lately, I picked back up a fantasy book idea that hadn’t died after 10 yrs of neglect and the opening scenes just flowed out. Every time I revisit them, they get richer.

Tap into the muses.

Begin, to find the end.

#plantsky #birdsky

Trimmed and twirled mom’s “jasmine jungle” back from her carport roof - until I saw a bird nest in the thickest part. I know not all birds return to their nests but couldn’t bring myself to remove.

Vased the flowers - so pretty how the purple comes through! Smells even prettier!

#catsky update on Toby the Tabby -

I was finally brave enough to call the shelter where I’d brought the stray i was feeding for months who got real sick.

They told me Toby passed away, that they’d kept him comfy as possible.

He left a feather on my mat 🪶

The guilt of not bringing him in sooner..

#spiritguides are all shapes & sizes!

Years ago, I was at such a bleak crossroads that I was floored with my eyes closed. “What now?” I waited.

“Anything!” It was like a little sprite leapt forth with Pom poms! Shocking zest.

I told my sister recently and 2 days later found him in a thrift shop 🍀

I was gifted a couple duck eggs - so huge! So velvety. No weird taste lol.

And what are eggs without a side of hash, cuties, and maybe some avo. Next time, I might add smoked paprika.

TIP: eggs should sizzle when they hit the pan, then lower heat and use lid to steam the top!

#collectorsky #swapsky

Attended a #decorswap recently. We’ve heard of clothing swaps but this was news. Great way to reduce landfill, reuse decor, free!

I found an old electric pole glass topper. I have 2, but 3 makes an official collection, right?

Makes me imagine a swap / #barter economy, wow 🙌

#catsky update

So, I’ve been feeding a stray. It got so sick recently that I had to take it to a shelter. I cried but it was the right thing to do.

“Toby the tabby” became “Straycey” and all I got back was an empty cat carrier. They may euthanize! They’ll call me if not.

Still surrendering 😿✨🙌

#artsky

I dabble in lots of arts. Thanks to YouTube teachers, these early attempts at acrylic #painting turned out kind of promising, but so much to learn. Had fun with the #paletteknife on the lighthouse!

TIP: use a 3D canvas (not flat) and paint the sides = ready to hang, no frame needed ✨🧚

#catsky

Update on “Toby the tabby” - the no-collar stray I’ve been feeding. Food and love isn’t enough. Still skinny. Still has more of a squeak than a meow.

Time to bring Tobes to the local animal shelter for microchip scan, checkup, neuter.

Adopt or surrender?? A decision I’m struggling with..💔

#catsky i must share my #glitchinthematrix moment:

I’ve been feeding my neighbor’s cat for the last year and she likes hanging out in my yard.

One minute I snapped a fond photo of her - the next minute, I suddenly had 2 cats!

The new one is young and hungry. Is this how we become cat ladies?

My fave #mushroom #puzzle!

Research mode: On the #artist, Marjolein Bastin. It feels like one of her witchier watercolors. She’s also an author & illustrator of children’s books! I even found a quote:

“The world that lies before us every day is just as beautiful as what’s exotic and rare…” -MB

#art #nature

Finally unwrapped my flower press, went for a long walk, did a fresh press, then found out I should wait 3 weeks before opening lol.

Meanwhile, I colored the press! Blended with simple Crayola markers, sealed with clear spray.

Research begins. Candles? Grimoire? Much can be done..

I can't help but imagine that sewing machines might enjoy being decorated?

I personalized mine with beautiful, inspiring, creative stickers in a color palette I adore, and it makes my sewing days more special and approachable.

#1, Learn your machine. #2, Love it!
